4 Dorn stated she will continue to review the information as well as make phone calls to other communities who have a heritage preservation authority in place. Ms. Dorn will continue her research and report back to EDC the kind of impact a heritage preservation authority would have on the city, residents, and roadways. Ms. Capra indicated that Bob Thein has historical and geneology information about Centerville he would be willing to donate to the city if the city developed a historical preserve /museum. Portable Exhibit: Aimee Fairbrother stated that after researching various companies, the most cost effective, durable, and useable exhibit idea would be to create three individual banners about 3' x 4' feet each. Each banner would portray one different color image drawn by the Minnesota Design Team. These banners would have the option to be hung individually or be placed together. Mr. Magill suggested Gator Signs be contacted for a quote in addition to the quotes already received. The following motion was made in regards to the portable exhibit and sale of city merchandise. Motion made by Chairperson Tim Rehbine, and seconded by Paul Montain to purchase three "Design Team" banners as well as a selection of city merchandise: caps, mugs and t- shirts. Aimee Fairbrother is authorized to purchase the above items not to exceed a $2500 maximum order. Six month follow - up: Ms. Capra indicated the follow up meeting went very well. There were approximatley thirty volunteers present. Ms. Capra stated the Minnesota Design Team was very pleased with the city's progress since the original visit, and encouraged volunteers to continue working together towards their goals. Mr. Montain added the Minnesota Design Team strongly encouraged the city to establish guidelines and standards for new businesses as they move into the community. These guidelines /standards would relate to the "theme" the city is working toward, and specify building appearance, structures of historical importance, sidewalk and landscaping requirements etc. Mr. Rehbine questioned whether any further activities were required by EDC to fulfill the contract with the Minnesota Design Team. Ms. Capra stated there are no other requirements, but if the city had any questions or concerns the Minnesota Design Team would be available.
